Warehousing and Delivery Services for USDA Foods
Request for Proposals
Description
The objective of this solicitation is for the Bureau of Nutrition and Health Services (BNHS) as part of the Iowa Department of Education (IDOE) to solicit proposals from Responsive and Responsible vendors to provide warehouse and delivery services of USDA Foods to eligible Recipient Agencies (RA) across the State of Iowa. USDA Foods include direct delivered items, as well as further processed end products through the net off invoice (NOI) value pass through method. This procurement represents a new way of doing business for the State of Iowa. BNHS seeks to combine distribution of these two categories of products (direct distribution and further processed end products) into a single contractor with state wide coverage.
However, the SDA has divided the state into two service regions (Attachment #9) and will accept proposals for distribution of one category of products only, as well as for one service region only.
By combining state wide volume of Direct Distribution USDA Foods and further processed end products, the goal is to obtain the most cost effective and efficient method of distribution for USDA Foods to all RAs.
The SDA may already have in place or choose to award supplemental Contracts for any work related to this solicitation, or any portion thereof. The SDA reserves the right to award the Contract jointly between two (2) or more potential Respondents, if such arrangement is in the best interest of the Recipient Agencies. The Respondent must agree to cooperate with other such Respondents, and must not commit or permit any act which may interfere with the performance of work by any other Respondent.
